When to Apply Barricade 18-0-4

Spring Applications

To keep summer annual weeds away, whether you have northern or southern turf, apply Barricade 18-0-4 in early spring. Make sure to do this before the soil temperature hits 55 degrees Fahrenheit at a depth of four inches. This timing will stop weed seeds from germinating.

Fall Applications

You can also use Barricade 18-0-4 in the fall to prevent winter annual weeds like poa annua. The ideal time to apply pre-emergent is before soil temperatures drop below 70°F consistently. This depends on your location but is typically between mid-September and early October.

Barricade 18-0-4 and Seeding

Just like Barricade stops weeds from sprouting, it can also prevent grass seed from germinating.

If you've already seeded, hold off on applying Barricade 18-0-4 for 60 days or until after the second mowing, whichever takes longer.

The waiting period before you can seed or overseed after using Barricade 18-0-4 depends on your climate and how much Barricade 18-0-4 you applied. Check out the table here for the recommended intervals.
